Ferromagnetic CNT suspended H2O + Cu nanofluid analysis through composite stenosed arteries with permeable wall

In the present article magnetic held effects for CNT suspended copper nanoparticles for blood flow through composite stenosed arteries with permeable wall are discussed. The CNT suspended copper nanoparticles for the blood flow with water as base fluid is not explored yet. The equations for the CNT suspended Cu-water nanofluid are developed first time in the literature and simplified using long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. Exact solutions have been evaluated for velocity, pressure gradient, the solid volume fraction of the nanoparticles and temperature profile. Effect of various flow parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics is utilized, It is also observed that with the increase in slip parameter blood flows slowly in arteries and trapped bolus increases.
